John Gill Commentary Deuteronomy 25:13

"Thou shalt not have in thy bag diverse weights, a great and a small." — Deuteronomy 25:13 (ASV)

You shall not have in your bag divers weights
Or, "a stone and a stone" ^F25 ; it being usual, in those times and countries, to have their weights of stone, as it was formerly with us here; we still say, that such a commodity is worth so much per stone, a stone being of such a weight; now these were not to be different:

a great and a small ;
great weights, to buy with them, and small weights, to sell with them, as the Targum of Jonathan paraphrases it.
